Interesting fact

The 5 Pfennigs - Annen coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 1.7 g is a rare and valuable collector's item. It was minted during a time of economic crisis in Germany, known as the "Notgeld" period, when the government issued emergency currency to address a shortage of small denomination coins. The coin features a unique design, with the image of a woman (Annen) on one side and the denomination and mint mark on the other. Due to its rarity and historical significance, this coin is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a high price at auction.
